We had some trouble finding the place due to GPS issues, but Ramon was very helpful and stood out on the road for 15-20 minutes until we actually found him. He showed us the place and gave us some local tips for meals and activities. Each morning he appeared and took care of any issues. He offered to do laundry for us which was very helpful. The houses have a nice patio in front (as seen in the photos) for eating meals or relaxing.

The apartments are a true reflection of what you see in the pictures. We could not match the host because it was out, but his father greeted us and helped perfectly, and even when we had to call a minor quibble., slow less than 5 minutes in person. It is also appreciated that Ramon called us to see if all was well. The situation of the apartment is ideal. It is less than 5 minutes from a beautiful beach and 15 villaviciosa, where you have all the necessary services. Surely if someday we return to the area, repeat accommodation

Sandra2016-06-14T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place and very good accommodation. We have spent a few days in family very comfortable and quiet, very good experience. Special note for the hosts who welcomed us quite late and arrived in less than five minutes, thank you very much for detail. This area is wonderful and spectacular beach, highly recommended with small children for services offered Rodiles.

Jimena2016-07-31T00:00:00Z

The setting is wonderful. The apartments not as described. Area very well maintained lawn. The apartments are clean and well maintained. Best of all, the tranquility of the area and the proximity to the beach Rodiles is wonderful. Ramón father was watching us all and if we needed anything while. When we called for a topic we attended at the time. Always very friendly brought us blankets and a heater and a frying pan. We made a very pleasant stay.

Maria2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

And hosts very good place to spend a pleasant stay in a spectacular area.

adriana2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

The place is very nice and the value is very good. I recommend the place and the area is very attractive for walking and meeting places nearby.

Gu2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

The stay at La Casona del Terienzu has been very satisfactory. While we have not dealt directly with Ramon, his father, who was in charge of managing the apartments has been very friendly and at all times has been receptive to any suggestion or request that we made. The apartments are very quiet but right next to it elapses the road leading to the beach Rodiles, with the movement of vehicles and that means more at this time of year. They are functional and practical, ideal for short stays, for those looking for a base to explore this part of Asturias, or for those who look like us spend more time enjoying the beach Rodiles and its waves. Besides the garden around which the apartments, each with its wonderful terrace is the ideal location to exhaust the last of the day space. It has a very accessible parking from apatamentos, both in front and in the back. Finally, commenting that the pictures are a true reflection of what La Casona del Terienzu offers.

The attention of pretty good host. The worst, no doubt, the absence of washing machine and basic cooking (oil, vinegar, salt ...), excessively small room and too uncomfortable couch things (I think it would be good for renewal). It would also be desirable to renew the fridge. These are the things one looks for in an apartment, and if not available, it is preferable the hotel room. The bedrooms very well, and very comfortable beds. WiFi for many times of the day is not accessible from inside the house. The situation, unbeatable, within walking distance of the beach, and close to places to visit (Lastres, Gijón, Villaviciosa, Romanesque route ...)

Jorge2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

We have been very agusto in the apartment. We have received good treatment and we have not missed anything less. Rodiles Beach, 3 km, has delighted us!

Nagore2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

The house is as it looks in the ad. The beautiful garden and well kept. spacious rooms, comfortable beds. The shower is great, the heater is gas so you do not run out of hot water. Definitely would go.

Adriana2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

The place is very appropriate for a focused visit places of Asturias region (Jurassic Museum, Villaviciosa ...) stay. Nearby beaches such as Rodiles and Greek are really beautiful. The accommodation is right, with a price-quality ratio acceptable. spacious and comfortable and both Ramon and his father, really friendly and always available for anything rooms. Recommendable.

Alberto2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

You know when you feel like you're at home? Ramon showed us the house upon arrival, a space that fulfilled exactly what we were looking for: clean, tidy with all the necessary to spend a great weekend. It was very close to Villaviciosa, where there are shops of all kinds, and the beach was less than a 10 minute drive. If you're going to go down as we did the Sella will need about 30-40 ', but worth the stay. Other neighbors with which it coexists in the other independent apartments were extremely polite and were able to rest at all times.

Amazing traditional house in a great location, just a couple of minutes from the beach. Very tranquil spot, with lots of space, both inside the house and outside. Went with 2 couples and children, and couldn't be happier. The house had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen is well equipped, lots of rooms to choose from. One of the beds wasn't very comfortable, and the shower on the 1st floor didn't have enough pressure, but these were minor issues, as there is another bathroom on the ground floor with 2 showers, and the owners are making their best to resolve the issue. The owners are lovely people, very thoughtful. They knew one of the children was still a toddler, and provided a travel cot and high chair without us even asking. Overall a perfect stay that we intend to repeat very soon, and will be recommending to friends who are visiting the area.

Raquel2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house with a view on the ocean and cliffs, with a well-cared-for garden, an orchard, and a tennis court. There is a direct walking path to the beach from the house – no need to walk along the road. Everything in the house worked well – it seems that the issue with the hot water has been resolved.

It has a living room with kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom.
In the lounge we can find two sofa beds, TV with Freeview with the main channels, DVD and films, and table games to have a good time of entertainment. At lunchtime it has an extendable dining table with six chairs and two helpers more. There is a small storage room where you can find the necessary to enjoy a good meal using the electric cooking plate and / or raclette.
The kitchen is fully equipped (fridge, dishwasher, microwave, oven, hob, washing machine, coffee machine ...) with all the necessary stuff to use.
All bedrooms have a mosquito nets. Two of them have two beds and the third of a double berth. Bed linen and towels are provided. One of the rooms also has a TV with integrated DVD.

The smell of cider, seafood and fish is very common around the main centre. This is fuelled by the presence of a great variety of restaurants which offer many dishes, fried fish being the most popular for tourists. The port of Tazones holds new marine installations that make life easier for the fishermen including big fridges to keep the fish fresh. In the past, Tazones was famous for whale hunting but, nowadays this is completely forbidden.
Tazones dealt in the past with the Royal family, in fact, king Carlos V disembarked in Tazones, and by that time, he was the owner of a great empire and his first trip to Spain dated from September the 19th in 1517. We can imagine that this disembarkment in Tazones was not really important at first. But the main aim of this trip was to take charge of his crown and from Tazones he started his discovery of the Iberian reign.
Currently, this village has been recognised as an Artistic Historical site of the Principado of Asturias. Each year, on August the 17th or the day of “San Roquín”, they celebrate and simulate the disembarkment of Carlos V in this village. This perfomance from its beginings has attracted lots of tourists and curious people that are very well informed because newspapers always announce it a few days before the celebration takes place. Together with the performing of the figure of Carlos V, other people are parading with epoch dresses, and also the inhabitants acting as menbers of the crown or servants. This fictitious disembarkment is becoming more and more famous each year because this is also celebrated on August the 15th, 16th, and 17th paying homage to the Saint Roque. The tradition is to take a figure of the Saint in a procession on a boat by the sea, accompanied by the fishermen of this village. Together with this Saint, the Carmen virgin is also taken in procession.
Its paved streets and low buildings form the village centre, with many roads that cross with other little roads. These little roads allow us to enjoy the beautiful sights of the village. Tazones is very colourful, different from other seaside villages, serving as a great mirror of its own wonderful landscapes. Tazones reflects a romantic sea where the depth of the horizon merges with reality.
Tazones is a colourful little space in the middle of the Asturian cosmos. This town has grown thanks to the improvement of fishing boats and the natural coast being very suitable and safe for fishing. The pictures on its balconies and windows are so bright that they imitate the sunny days even when the weather is bad. From Villaviciosa one takes the road next to an stuary. Going ahead, one can see the beach of Rodiles, famous for its length and beauty. From this point to Tazones one only has to descend by an asphalt road full of tight curves. It often appears that the abundant vegetation could close our path, but in the end nature allows us to continue well. Now, one reaches sea level and discovers by surprise a great cave, open to a blue horizon with a beautiful beach.

Jesus Mary's house is perfect to know Asturias, its location, the environment through valleys, for the view, because it reflects what is a traditional Asturian house and because the hosts are very nice and made us feel at home. We also appreciate the proximity to Villaviciosa, very nice people, but also in a natural environment.

Maria and Jorge made every effort to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. They are two of the nicest and most genuine people we have had the pleasure to meet. They were so welcoming and made a real fuss of our little boy. We enjoyed watching them bring in the potato harvest helping myself and my son climb up into their traditional Asturian barn to see the vegetables and white beans drying. The views of the surrounding countryside are stunning (the photos do not do them justice). The lovely town of Villaviciosa is only 5 minutes drive away, the beach of Rodiles 10 minutes further. Great food is available in the many local restaurants. The house is comfortable and clean with all the facilities. We will definitely be returning in the future.

We spent a great week, the room was great and the hosts made us feel at home. The place is super quiet and has Villaviciosa less than 10 minutes, therefore the A8 highway is very close to move freely everywhere.

Living room is equiped with a gas heater and a fireplace ( a bucket of wood and a pack of fire tablets are provided upon arrival). Outside you've got BBQ, bench for lunches outside and a couple chaise-lounges for a relaxed afternoon nap.

If you really want to enjoy your experience in cliff house and bring back some nice memories below you can find some tips. But most of all we would recommend....
….Have a luch/dinner at ¨El Catalín¨restaurant, have a drink in ¨Soda 917¨, take a guide bike/hiking trip with Javier and make your own jewelry from Azabache at our neighborn´s Begoña house.
SHOPPING
Even though there are small shops in Tazones (very overpriced) and Argüero, the best way to do shopping is in Villaviciosa as there you can find all the services and the supermarkets don´t close for siesta.
Supermarkets Alimerka and Mercadona (open Monday to Saturday from 9 to 21.15)
Mercado de Abastos (next to city hall). Fruits, vegetables, meat and fish from local producers (most busy on Wednesdays). There is also a natural organic milk machine (recommended to take a bottle with you or you can buy one from a machine for 50c).
Panadería La Portalina
Traditional bakery
Confitería Viena

Rural House El Gobernador
Apart from renting appartments, they are also growing their own produce where you can buy seasonal fruits, vegetables and eggs.

Cockteleria Soda 917
An unexpected place to grab a drink after dinner, especially in winter in front of a fire place with Ella Fitzgerald playing in a background. Located on the crossroad of VV5 and AS256, very close to Apartamentos El Gobernador.
RESTAURANTS
In the area as well as Asturias regions there is infinite amount of restaurants and places to eat. That makes it very hard to recommend something having in mind difference in taste and expectations. However, below we recommend few places where we go to eat ourselves.
Restaurante El Catalín.
(URL HIDDEN)
One of the most popular places in the area. Cachopos, sea food, day menu of very good quality and price ratio. As it´s quite busy, we´de recommend to give a call before to make sure they are open and to make a reservation. During lunch time and on Sundays it´s basically impossible to get a table without reservation.
Tel. +(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)
It´s close to Tazones fisherman village on VV5 road in Talaya village. You will see the indications.
Restaurante La Playa in Tazones
That´s the only one that we would recommend in Tazones which is very touristic area and most of the restaurants rely on that more than on quality of the food.
Restaurante El Verano
Located close to Argüero, it´s the most reputed one. The fish dishes are perfect, however, we find it to be a bit expensive, but if you don´t mind paying anextra for quality, then it´s a place to go.
.
Bar El Quincho
Closest one to the house, you can´t miss it either entering or leaving Oles. Very basic and homemade food, but as the kichen is always open so it´s handy if you want to grab something to eat or a drink. They also have their homemade natural cider.
Restaurante La Llosa
(URL HIDDEN)
restaurant close to house. Quite an opposite from el Quicho. If you want to try Asturian cuisine with more sophisticated touch, then that´s a place to go with very nice owners as well.
Restaurante Los Llaureles (Torazo)
(URL HIDDEN)
This is for more gourmet dinner and not a traditional kitchen. Degustation menu, open only on the weekends and only with reservation. Works well with close by Spa de Torazo for a cold and rainy day.
Sidreria La Ballera.
A cider place that goes back to the old days. Very lively and traditional. Razorshells, clamps, mussels and steak on hot stones are probably the best in area.
BEACHES
There are few of them in the area, so we just start from closest to most far one.
Playa Merón (15 minutes) Stone and sand (only stone with high sea). The most quite and unknown in the area. The little beach where only locals go.
Playa España (20 minutes) Sand. Very good for swimming and surfing. There is also a beach bar (summer season only) with restaurant and live music on the weekends.
Playa Rodiles. (40 minutes) The biggest and most well known, which is good for swimming and especially known for surfing. Even though its very close to the house on a shoreline, the road towards it makes a very big detour. Warning: In high season its very popular beach with loads of traffic jams that might be as long as 20km and the bottleneck can even reach the highway.
SIGHSEEING AND TREKKING
OLES
both the windmill road and Azabache mining road in Tazones are very nice to visit, but the road marking is not the best. What we would recommend doing is having a guided walking or bike tour for which you can use STASS company in Oles. For our clients they have suggested the following trips(URL HIDDEN) - Azabache mines, cliffs and wind mills Mina de azabache, acantilados, molinos (2 hours(URL HIDDEN) - Siera cliff and bay (2 hours)
Both trips can be done either by walking or bikes and it costs 35euros for 2 people. Contact numb(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) Javier
If you´re willing to know more about Azabache, what can be done with it, how it is extracted and even make your own peace of jewelry, call Begoña at +(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN). She lives next to a house.
Tazones
the fisherman village located 4km from the house with loads of restaurants and an finishes with sand beach (which dissapears with high sea). You can also buy fresh sea food in the port, in a place is is called CETAREA (storage place for live sea food) or directly from the boats (during weekdays when the boats get back to port, usually around 10-11am. Cash only).
Lastres.
Similar fisherman village to Tazones with coble stone streets. Its definitely worth to go up till El Mirador (lookout).
Iglesia de San Salvador y Monasterio de Valdedios (c.IX and c.XII)
Authentic jewels of preromanic Asturias (from the sister order)
Faro de Luces
Lighthouse located on a cliff close to Lastres with excellent views over the coast. (though you have it already from the house :) )
Ruta del Azabache
(URL HIDDEN)
Hinking that you can start from the house and it actually starts from the church in Oles. If you are interested in azabache ( jet stone which is half precious stone found in the area, you can ask around for Begoña that makes jewelry from it (she actually lives next door).
Ruta de hayedo de la biescona
(URL HIDDEN)
Beech wood in mountain area from which you can get probably best views of the Asturian coast (mirador del Fito)
If you want to visit or hike some areas a bit more far from the house, we´d recommend Parque Nacional de los Picos de Europa, Somiedo or Parque Natural de Redes.
Ruta del Cares (P.N Picos de Europa(URL HIDDEN) (URL HIDDEN) Probably one of the most spectacular of Asturias with massive coombs(URL HIDDEN) (22 kms to go and come back). If you want to make only one way, you´ll need a taxi.
If you´re searching for some adventure activities (canyoning, rafting, bungy jumping, ATV and more), the best place for it is in Arriondas. There are many companies organizing these type of activities and they are all quite similar so we can´t recommend anyone in particular.
OTHER ACTIVITIES (also possible to do with kids)
In Oles, just next to Bar el Quincho there is a bike rental that also does guided bike tours. (Stass)
Dinosaur foot prints that starts from playa de la Griega (Colunga) and Jurasic museum (MUJA) is a good family activity.
Next to the Faro de Luces you can do some horseback riding along the coast.
If you are interested in artisanal azabache jewelry, dont forget to visit Begoña, our neighbour from the house with black gates. She can offer you some handmade jewerly which might be nice to bring back as presents and tell you more about Azabache history.

Hector is a wonderful and nicest guy who guided us perfectly to the house, we find it on the fire and a lot of details that made the stay much easier. We advised a lot of great places to see during those days. The house is tiny and very welcoming, the rooms are comfortable, the views and the absolutely unique environment. Of course, we will repeat!

What I liked most ... The sound of the sea along with the sound of crackling wood in the fireplace. 100% relax

Accommodation in a spectacular location. We went with our dog and we have enjoyed the environment and nature. The house is at the end of a small village where you can see cows, donkeys, geese, horses ... Stay in the house is perfect to relax and unwind. Relax reading a book in the hammocks listening or watching the waves breaking through the telescope as fishermen working in the middle of the sea. It is close to small towns in the area where you can eat fresh fish or make a trip to Oviedo or Gijon.

It is an isolated house but looking for that concept is a wonderful choice.
